9.Thedifferencebetweenarealizedgainorlossandanunrealizedgainorlossrelatestotheaccountingconceptofarm’s-lengthtransactions.Theterm“realized”indicatesthatanarm’s-lengthtransactionhastakenplaceandasecurityhasbeensold.Arealizedgainindicatesthatthesecuritywassoldformorethanitshistoricalcost,whilearealizedlossmeansthatthesecuritywassoldforlessthanitsoriginalpurchaseprice.Anunrealizedgainmeansthatthepriceofthesecuritybeingheldhasincreasedaboveitshistoricalcost,butthesecurityhasnotbeensold.Ifthesecurityisstillbeingheldandthepricefallsbelowitshistoricalcost,anunrealizedlosshasoccurred.
10.Theaccount“MarketAdjustment”isusedtovaluebothtradingandavailable-for-salesecuritiesattheirmarketvalue.Tradingandavailable-for-salesecuritiesareinitially
